NIMBLR F2F Momentum & Indecisive Candle Finder

The NIMBLR F2F Momentum & Indecisive Candle Finder indicator identifies specific price action patterns based on the ratio of the candle body to its total range to highlight potential trend continuations or market pauses.

Usage

The indicator can be used to identify two distinct market states directly on the price chart:

• Momentum (M): Indicated by a green plus sign above the bar. This occurs when the candle body represents a large percentage of the total high-low range, suggesting strong directional conviction.
• Indecision (I): Indicated by a red circle above the bar. This occurs when the candle body is very small relative to the total range (similar to a Doji), suggesting a lack of agreement between buyers and sellers.

Traders often use these signals to confirm breakouts (Momentum) or to anticipate potential reversals or consolidations (Indecision) following a trending move.

Details

The script functions by calculating the absolute difference between the open and close (the body) and comparing it to the absolute difference between the high and low (the total range).

• A Momentum candle is defined when the body is greater than or equal to a user-defined percentage of the total range.
• An Indecision candle is defined when the body is strictly less than a user-defined percentage of the total range.

This methodology is based on concepts shared by Nimblr, focusing on the visual representation of supply and demand dynamics within individual price bars.

Settings
